A LINK International/Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) activity book helps children understand the needs of believers in Jesus who live in Saudi Arabia. They are taught to pray for those who suffer rejection because of their beliefs.
This 60 page book has colored pictures. This makes it interesting to children. The book contains sensitive information. It is not appropriate for all cultures. It is not usable in Muslim countries or where Islam is the main religion. In areas where it can be used, children will learn about the geography and lifestyles of those countries. The stories and activities teach them about the dangers of believing in Jesus.
The book gives information and geographical facts about the country. The 15 stories and activities tell about this country where all citizens must be Muslim. Becoming a believer in Jesus is punishable by death. Many Saudi people want to know for sure that they will go to heaven when they die. With Islam they can never know for sure. Some activities help children understand more about Islam and Saudi Arabia. Answers to some activities in the stories are at the back of the book.
Any part of this book can be copied for home or classroom use except where noted.
